Redlining Exploration:

Here is the map detailing the redlining grades given to areas in NYC. There are areas that our data set does not have information for, which are colored grey.

Distribution of Redlining Scores in Boroughs:

This graph shows more detail. The distribution of the scores are fairly different for the boroughs, which Manhattan having the most distribution and Queens having the smallest.

Redlining Grade Count by Borough:

We can see here that Staten Island, Queens, and Bronx have the most C grade in their neighborhood. Manhattan and Brooklyn have the grade D as the most frequent. This is similar to what we saw in the violin plot previously.

SNAP Exploration and Demographics:

SNAP Total % of Households within Redline Grade:

Race VS Redlinging Grade:

This is a stacked bar chart showing the race distribution of households by historical redlining grades (A, B, C, D, NA) in New York City.

  • Grade D (“Hazardous”) areas have a higher concentration of Black and minority households compared to Grade A or B areas, which show a higher proportion of White households.
  • Grade C and D areas reflect the legacy of racial segregation, where redlined zones were predominantly occupied by communities of color.

Healthy Grocery Store Exploration:

Redlinging Grade VS. Grocery Stores(Manhattan,Brooklyn,and Bronx):

This map overlays the distribution of healthy grocery stores on top of the historical redlining grades across NYC.

Redlinging Grade VS.Grocery Stores in Bronx Only:

This map zooms in on the Bronx area to focus on the distribution of healthy grocery stores within the context of historical redlining grades.

  • Redlined areas (D) in the Bronx show fewer healthy grocery stores compared to blue (C) and yellow (B) areas.

Health Outcome vs Redlining Scores

The graph compares the relationship between redlining and health outcomes (diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol) in New York City. The higher redlining scores (A, B) tend to have slightly higher obesity and high cholesterol rates, potentially indicating the complex intersection of socioeconomic status, healthcare access, and environmental factors related to historical redlining.
